Yes and no. There are separate manuals for the EAE (links here:

  https://gunkies.org/wiki/KE11-A_Extended_Arithmetic_Element
  https://gunkies.org/wiki/KE11-B_Extended_Arithmetic_Element

the -B is the same to program as the -A; its implementation is just a single
board, though) but the -11/20 processor handbook (the second version; the one
dated 1972) does have a chapter (Chapter 8; Part I) on the EAE.

(For no reason I can understand, neither the -11/05 nor the -11/04 processor
handbook covers the EAE, even though neither one has the EIS, and if you need
multiply/etc in hardware on either one, the EAE is your only choice).

Of course, that's not to dismiss legitimate valuation, rather, simply to inform that I intend to turn no profit from these materials, and wherever they wind up after their (hopefully very long) tenure in my library will likely have happened via donation.

If you are willing to pay exorbitant amounts, most of the standards are 
available from the ISO store (e.g., C89: 
https://www.iso.org/standard/74528.html , ISO5807: 
https://www.iso.org/standard/11955.html , ISO9660: 
https://www.iso.org/standard/81979.html , and so on).
